What is ISO 14532?

ISO 14532:2019, titled “Cryogenic vessels — Vocabulary”, is the latest version of the standard that defines a comprehensive and harmonized set of terms used in cryogenic technology. It covers both stationary and transportable vacuum-insulated vessels used for storing liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures.

This standard ensures that all stakeholders—including designers, engineers, quality assurance teams, and safety inspectors—use consistent terminology, minimizing misunderstandings and enhancing product safety and interoperability.

Why is ISO 14532 important?

In industries where cryogenic storage plays a vital role, incorrect or inconsistent terminology can lead to serious safety hazards, non-compliance issues, or delays in certification. By implementing ISO 14532:2019:

  1. You align your organization with internationally accepted terminology.
  2. You improve collaboration between multidisciplinary teams and suppliers.
  3. You reduce risk through better documentation, training, and audit readiness.
  4. You support smoother integration with other ISO standards such as ISO 21009 (pressure vessels), ISO 20421 (transportable vessels), and ISO 9001 (quality management).
